An ultralight backpacker in the Grand Canyon

Hi Friends!

We're so stoked for our Gear Analyst, Casey, who's been hiking the Arizona Trail in prime fall conditions. She just sent an update from the jaw-dropping Grand Canyon. Make sure to stop by our social media to get a glimpse of her pics and the lowdown on current AZT conditions.

New and updated gear is dropping at retailers left and right. This is a great time to shop since past-season models and colorways are being cleared out to make room for fall releases. Keep an eye on our updated gear guides to stay current on all of our favorite equipment.

We hope you're doing well and enjoying the outdoors!

As always, thanks for following along.

CleverHiker Gift Guide
It's never too early to start squirreling away gifts with the holidays right around the corner. Buying ahead spreads out the cost of gift-giving, and can help make your winter a lot less stressful if you have a lot of people on your list. Our roundup of gift ideas for outdoorsy peeps is always here when you need it. 
Ultralight Footwear & Poles
When it comes to saving energy on the trail, choosing lightweight footwear is just about the most important decision you can make. Carrying weight on your feet is very costly for energy consumption. in fact, weight carried on your feet is about 4-6 times more costly than weight carried on your back. 
Best Energy Bars
The humble snack. Always there when you need it most - right before a big run, just before the final push to a summit, or found in the bottom of your bag when you realize you left your lunch sitting on the kitchen counter. Get the skinny on the best bars out there, and never get hangry again.
Best Hiking Shoes
Choosing a great pair of hiking shoes is one of the most important gear decisions you’ll make. Getting a pair that has the right balance of comfort, traction, weight, and durability will make a huge difference with every step along the trail. Use our Men's & Women's lists to find your new faves in a snap.
GEAR PICK OF THE WEEK
Coros Apex 2

The Coros Apex 2 comes with premium features, like topo maps and triathlon training, that are typically only found in higher-end watches with price tags upwards of $500, so it’s an awesome value.

It supports a wide variety of activities from trail running routes to mountain climbing, and snowsports. We also love that it’s more durable and stylish than many of the comparable GPS watches on the market.

With its awesome battery life, fully customizable data sets, and premium sport profiles, the Coros Apex is a great choice for anyone active -- especially dedicated runners and triathletes.

See how it compares to some of our other faves on our list of the Best GPS Watches.
